Long Island Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney

Nearly everyone will be involved in a car accident at some point. Still, nothing can prepare you for the harsh reality of suffering a serious injury in a car crash and the pain and disruption that it causes. Your medical and personal recovery from a serious car accident injury is likely to be painful and expensive.

Who is responsible for my car accident?

How can I get the medical treatment I need for my injuries?

How can I get my car replaced or repaired?

Who will pay for my lost income caused by the crash?

Attorney Richard Jaffe has extensive experience as a firefighter and licensed EMT (emergency medical technician). He understands how painful, scary and stressful a motor vehicle accident is – not only for the victim but for the whole family. He is very familiar with the serious injuries common in collisions and the medical issues in treatment and recovery.

People who have been seriously injured in car accidents face expenses for medical treatment, lost wages, damage to their vehicle and more. They endure pain and suffering, sometimes including the loss of a loved one in the accident. If the accident was not their fault, they deserve assistance with their expenses and, according to New York civil law, compensation for their pain and suffering.

Your Full Compensation Is Our Goal

At The Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP, we are committed to helping you recover all the compensation you deserve after a car accident. We conduct thorough investigations of car crashes and the injuries our clients have suffered. We determine who should be held liable for the accident and the total amount of money the accident has cost our clients. This includes what it is likely to cost them in the future because of lingering pain, disability or disfigurement – and how that will affect future earning capacity.

We work with medical and engineering consultants and other experts to develop detailed car accident cases, which we present in negotiations with insurers that represent the liable parties. We press hard for a proper settlement so that we can obtain the compensation you need quickly and let you get on with your recovery and a life free from financial worry.

When an insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to go to court to fight for justice on our clients’ behalf.

Our lawyers have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of our clients. However, we know that a personal injury claim is not just about the money. We also focus on helping you get the assistance you need to put your life back together after an accident. We help clients get the medical care they need to get better. We help people get the tools they need to cope with disabilities caused by accidents. We help accident victims solve their transportation problems caused by the crash.

Most importantly, our lawyers take care of the complex legal and insurance matters so you can focus on your health and your future.
